Our Favorite Sunday

A game or a holiday?

15
Our Favorite Sunday
Maxim

Millions tune in to watch the most highly anticipated and most watched television event of the year. The anticipation. The suspense. I can barely wait, eager to participate in America's favorite Sunday of the year. Everyone get ready to put your favorite jersey on because it's almost here! The Super Bowl.

First, you wake up and put on your favorite jersey. You paint your face and put on those crazy neon socks or hat and get ready to go. Team spirit is a must for this epic game day.

Then you quickly go to the food store to buy balloons and you might as well buy some more nachos, wings, beer, burgers, chips, cookies and cakes because is there even such thing as one too many cakes with both teams customized in icing with a football stadium and an exquisite drawing of helmets and celebration?

You go back home and everyone comes over or you head to your friends or families houses and you start to argue over who will win. Some place bets, others just ramble on for hours.

The game starts. It is insane. So much hype. One of my favorite parts are the absolute best commercials that are crazy funny and awesome. Like last years absurdly awkward and hysterically funny "Puppy Monkey Baby" mountain dew commercial that made everyone fall to the floor laughing. In my opinion the commercials are probably the reason why there are so many viewers. How about that vintage throwback Coca-cola "Mean Joe Green" Pittsburgh Steelers commercial, come on what's not to like about that!?!?

You eat, have fun with friends, and basically spend the entire night yelling at the tv, thinking the refs can hear you when in your mind you know you're right and they made a bad call, and await to see the winner.

If your team won you probably sprint out of the house with pots and pans and noisemakers shouting and crying of joy. If your team lost you’ll be depressed for weeks and that’s just how it goes. It’s much more than just another Sunday night football game.

The beauty of the Super Bowl is that everyone participates and unites. No matter your age, even if you’re a baby, your parents dress you up in a cute little jersey and you sit and watch too. Everyone celebrates in the end, and there is so much leading up to it. There is something for everyone to enjoy from just eating good food (me) to actually watching the game.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
